CircleMUD.Net Auto-checker

After fighting with Perl (and C) over network sockets to MUDs I decided not
to do a string check but just look for anything listening. I couldn't get
the program to 100% determine the difference between waiting at a prompt
and simply nothing at the other end even when using various combinations of
alarms and non-blocking reads. (i.e., do 100 non-blocking reads mean there
isn't any more information or that it's just being slow?) So here's the
preliminary run (in chronological order) on the checker:

14 days consecutive downtimes and it goes inactive.
28 days consecutive downtimes and it gets removed.

Apparently the list was long overdue for some weeding out.
